Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 622
Wang Shannian is about 20 years old. He is the fourth generation of Liao Han people. He was born in a music workshop. He was good at playing the flute since he was a child, and he was proficient in rhythm. In addition to his handsome appearance, Yelu Yixin took a fancy to him three years ago, so he was adopted as a fake son, raised in the mansion, and renamed Yelushan.

Wang Shan is clever and quick-witted, and he has no principled bottom line in doing things. He is willing to help as long as he is given money, and there is an endless stream of Han people asking him to do things. He is in charge of collecting money for the Han people, ranging from ransoming slaves to begging for officials and selling titles, and cheating on imperial examinations. take seriously.

In the Liaodong restaurant in the south of the city, Wang Shan drank two glasses of wine, and his eyes brightened a little, "You mean the emperor merchants of the Song Dynasty?"

Mo Ting nodded, "He wants to see Yelu Xiangguo, if Ya Nei is willing to introduce him, he will give Ya Nei 300 taels of gold as an introduction benefit."

"How much?" Wang Shan's voice changed all of a sudden.

"Three hundred gold, he said it himself."

Wang Shan was so happy that he was about to explode, the opponent offered 300 taels of gold, [-] taels of money!One must know that he has raised tens of thousands of dollars for his adoptive father over the years, and the benefits he got are only two to three thousand dollars, which is like a big pie falling from the sky.

But the other party was not an ordinary person, but an imperial merchant. Wang Shan didn't dare to be careless, and asked again: "This imperial merchant has an official position!"

"There is a false official, but no real job."

Wang Shan thought for a while and said, "Can I meet him first, lest my father ask me something and I can't answer it."

"Okay, let's have a meal together at noon, let me introduce you."

In the afternoon, Wang Shan hurried to Yelu Yixin's other house in Tokyo.

Yelu Yixin was about 50 years old, with a burly figure and a handsome appearance. A few years ago, he participated in the suppression of the Yelu Chongyuan Rebellion. based trust.

Yelu Yixin was known as the number one traitor of the Liao Kingdom in history, and was the chief culprit for the decline and demise of the Liao Kingdom. Throw it to him.

It stands to reason that when Yelu Hongji came to Juma River in person, Yelu Yixin should sit in Beijing, but he knew in his heart that Yelu Hongji was more concerned about the reconstruction of the Tokyo palace. Seeing that the imperial court was almost out of money to recruit new troops, he allocated money He spent a lot of money to rebuild the Tokyo Palace, making it even more magnificent and magnificent. As for how much he can benefit from it, only he himself knows.

Yelv Yixin is sitting in the study room and carefully admiring a kiln official porcelain teacup, which was found in a well when the palace was built today. A teapot and four teacups are all from Ru kiln official porcelain. An eunuch put a box in the chaos and threw it into the well. The eunuch died in the rebellion. The box was found and salvaged by craftsmen today, and the chief supervisor dedicated it to Yelu Yixin.

Just as Yelu Yixin was enjoying the cup of tea with wide-eyed smiles, the voice of the impostor Yelushan came from the door, "Father, there is a big business coming."

Yelu Yixin's eyes lit up, he liked to hear this sentence the most, so he laughed and said, "Come in and say it!"

Yelushan came in, bowed and said: "My child sees my father!"

Among the senior officials of the Liao people, there are quite a few people who like to cut off their sleeves, and Yelu Yixin is one of them. Yelushan is his male favorite in the mansion, but Yelushan is very smart and quick-witted, and can make money for him. So he took a high look at him, accepted him as a false son, and asked him to make money among the Han people for himself.

Yelv Yixin asked with a smile, "What big deal?"

"My boy met the emperor of the Song Dynasty today."

Yelu Yixin was stunned. Of course he knew that the Song Dynasty Imperial Merchant was a private businessman for the emperor and the royal family. It was half-official and half-merchant. It’s just that a war is breaking out in Hebei. How could the Song Dynasty’s imperial merchants go to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo? Come?
He was puzzled and asked, "Where did he come from?"

"He said he came from Kunzhou, landed in Korea, and then came directly to Liaoyang Mansion."

This is more or less the same, if you come from Hebei, it would be ridiculous, Yelu Yixin frowned, "What are they looking for me for?"

"They want to set up a trade channel, ask us to buy goods, and they can pay in gold, or in other things that father is interested in."

Yelu Yixin walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back. Although the mutual market between Song and Liao had stopped because of the war, merchants would also trade with Liao through other channels, such as Korea, but this Song Dynasty imperial merchant After finding himself, Yelu Yixin is the prime minister after all, and he has a sense of politics that most people don't have. He immediately realized that there must be something else in it.

He asked quietly, "What do they want?"

"They want to buy old sheepskins, stallions and pig iron."

"It's okay to buy old sheepskin, but stallions and pig iron are strictly forbidden to trade!"

"Father, if they want to buy common goods, they won't find father."

Yelv Yixin pondered for a moment and said, "Just now you said that they pay with gold or things I'm interested in. What are things I'm interested in?"

"For example, the properties of the Song Dynasty, such as silk, tea, porcelain, and land."

"Wait, tell me what he said."

"The Guo merchant said that he could pay the bill with the best porcelain, silk, and tea cakes from the Song Dynasty. If the father is interested, they can even use the land to pay the bill."

"Pay the bill with the land, how do you say that?"

"He didn't elaborate, but Haier relayed what he said."

Yelv Yixin thought for a while and said, "Let's do this! I'll meet him tonight, and you arrange it. I'll keep this matter strictly a secret, including you and your intermediaries. Don't blame me for killing people."

Yelushan was startled, and quickly said: "Father, don't worry, the child will never reveal this matter, and neither will the middleman."

At night, a carriage drove directly into Yelu Yixin's other house. The carriage stopped in the yard. Yelushan got out of the carriage and asked Guo Kui to come down, "Mr. Guo please, my father is waiting in the study."

Guo Kui nodded and followed Yelushan to the study.

Walking outside the study, Yelushan reported at the door: "Father, Mr. Guo is here!"

"Please come in!" Yelu Yixin's voice came from the room.

"Mr. Guo, please!"

Guo Kui walked into the study room, and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the table staring at him, he stepped forward to salute without haste, "Imperial Merchant Guo Huaixin sees Yelu Xiangguo!"

Huaixin is Guo Kui's surname, and the general Song Dynasty officials don't know much, let alone Liao people.

"How do you prove that you are an imperial merchant?" Yelv Yixin asked coldly.

Guo Kui took out a gold medal and handed it to him. The Imperial Merchant Gold Medal was real. As the chief spy of the Song Dynasty against the Liao Kingdom, he had all identities.

Yelu Yixin saw the word 'Huangshang' on the gold medal, the font is round and familiar, it has been a few years, and it is not a new card, he nodded and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Guo is not just as simple as Huangshang!"

"How should I put it? I am indeed an imperial merchant, but I also have many other identities. For example, last year, I visited Japan as the emperor's special envoy. I also went to Nanyang countries as the emperor's messenger. In the Song Dynasty, I had the title of Qinzhou governor. , Yelu Xiangguo also knows that this is a vacant position, and when necessary, he will give another dispatch position, and I have no dispatch at present."

Yelv Yixin nodded, he believed that the other party was telling the truth, he waved his hand, "Mr. Guo, please sit down!"

Yelushan next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Huaixin finally passed the test.

Yelu Yixin said to Yelu Shan again: "Go and watch at the door, don't allow anyone to approach."

"Yes!" Yelushan went out and closed the door.

Then Yelu Yixin asked coldly: "You Da Song should not be short of pig iron! You might as well tell me the truth, what exactly are you looking for me for?"
